system is apparent. Our lsahs

circumstances. And, mind you, tfses
are southern people in town and

men, the principal stores are owned and
controlled By southern men, the furniture
stores and grocery stores are controlled
by southern men, and the farmers axe

"You ere not willing disciple to the
late idea OF new SOUTH" suggested the
reporter.
"New South" said General Maxey
with animation. "No sir; l know that
| the doctrine is false and fulsome. Grady
| is merely q slobberer. Tell me that &
people who with government, without
treasury, without an army, without &
| navy, without anything and with every-a
thing suddenly and preempfo
rily improvised, kept bsgk
| for four yesls the strongest government
in the world, and surrendered only when
we were exhausted and had no resources
left-.el me that people who had done,
this are without energy? Nonsense!
Absolute, silly nonsense am
not Of those who believe
that the wonderful advance and progress
of the south is due to northern capital or
energy. A people who returned from the
find their bnunna 1acOJato 4hoS~
resources gone, and utter hopefessness
and ruin staring them in the f.ce, and
who have changed all the scene of
horror to one OF beauty, need not
wait for outside influences to spur
them along. They went to wo K and did
ii themselves. l give the north full
credit for what she has accomplished at
home. Her advancement has been mar
velous and am free to say that northern
capital built many Of our roads primarily,
but it wss the energy and labor of
southern men who created the wealth,
and inside the construction of these roads
good investments who, in the end, paid
the bills OF construction in freights and
passenger fsre. Let everybody have
what is due them, but the development
OF the south is the result of

Congressman Hare said "shat reminds
me" and proceeded to explain his only
nope of securing pension through the
agency OF disabilities; but the reporter
had to leave, much TO his regret.
AN OLD-TIMER
Among the veteran arrivals at the Pick
wick hotel last evening is the old Mex!-
can soldier, John Law, from Chain Lake
q or Jh0 has la Ill
distance OF more than thousand miles
to meet his old comrades in arms, Cap
tain E NJ. Daggett-long since deceased
Mr.. Byers, and number of others here
who remember him as one who helped to
pitch the first tent.
THE RIGHT HEADQUARTERS.
Last night, through some mlsunder-
standing, lot of circulars were distrIbu-
ted, notifying the veterans to register az
Dagget's Hall. The circulars misled maEy
VINO supposed that the headquarters Of
the veterans were there. This is NOT tne
case. The headquarters of the veterans
are az the Ellis House, where ALI must
come to register and secure their Badges. !
Every member should come to the Office I
OF the secretary this morning and secure
o badge.
